Infrared Radiant Heaters VS Traditional Space Heaters!

So, which one’s better?  Well, we’re about to cover that.  If you don’t know how infrared radiant heaters work compared to traditional space heaters, let’s start there first.  With Infrared radiant heaters, they use infrared technology to heat the environment of room.  With traditional space heaters, they use a combination of a fan and heated coils to produce the warmth for a room.  The downside to this is that with traditional heaters, they can over heat, cause fires, emit toxic fumes and odors, and can severely burn if you touch them while they’re on.

Also, they’re not as effective for warming a room in a quick period of time.  The reason for this is because with traditional space heaters, they focus on blowing hot air into the room which takes a lot longer to heat a room.  With infrared radiant heaters, they use infrared rays which can heat the room faster because all the objects in the room including yourself absorb the rays directly.  It doesn’t burn you or anything like that.  It’s just like standing outside under the sun.  By using this technology, you’re able to get a room warmer quicker and more efficiently.

Another benefit of using infrared radiant heaters is that they don’t dry out the air like traditional heaters do.  Since traditional space heaters focus on warming the air itself, it ends ups drying the air out in the room which can cause your room to feel extremely hot and stuffy.   This sometimes can cause nose bleeds and fatigue.

Again, this is something you won’t experience with infrared radiant heaters since they don’t dry out the air.  Also, with infrared radiant heaters, you won’t experience any fumes since they don’t emit any.  Nor will you have to worry about the fire hazards compared to traditional heaters.  The reason for this is because infrared radiant heaters don’t use heated coils so there’s no worry of the unit getting knocked over and causing a fire.  Plus, they’re safe to the touch.  This way you won’t have to worry about your children and pets getting burned if they get into contact with the infrared heater.

With infrared radiant heaters, you can typically heat up to 1000 square feet in only about 10-15 minutes which is a lot faster than traditional space heaters.  Another benefit of using infrared radiant heaters is that they are very quiet compared to traditional heaters.

As you can probably see, using infrared radiant heaters is better choice than choosing to use traditional heaters, if not for the effectiveness, at least for the safety of your home and family.
